    Had the Fiesta bowl with vegan chick and peanut sauce (as photo). Delicious and felt really healthy. Interesting variation to other 'bowl food' establishments with the inclusion of fruit and beans. This was my first visit and will definitely return. The honey bush and vanilla tea was the best herbal tea I've ever tasted. Friendly service and open until 7pm (kitchen 6.30) so conveniently to pop in after work.

    Excellent food. Large dishes, good value. We tried the fiesta bowl and berry pancakes. It's good to have an empty food container with you, just in case. The restroom was clean and tidy as well.

    Love this place! The cashew butter pancakes were the best - so fluffy and full of bananas and mangoes. We also had the Tropicana bowl with Asian sauce and that was delicious as well, it had a really good mix of flavours and textures. Because the food was so good, we decided to order the berry compote pancakes too after finishing our meal. Other perks of this places are the portions were rather large and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit :)

    Amazing food, fantastic service and a lovely atmosphere. We visit Healthy Louisa regularly and are never disappointed. Highly recommend the Mexican bowls and the Pancakes. Fantastic flavours and huge portions.

    This place is really, really good. I must confess I am not a vegan, but am fasting and wanted to break my fast with something nice. Me and my partner ate here. The food was amazing and the service friendly and very helpful. I also enjoy that this place is very busy. So I hope my recommendations go a long way to help people who are looking for fantastic vegan food. My only gripe is I never got on the photo wall as they were so busy. I will be back soon. X much love.

    VEGAN ALERT!!! We popped in this little cafe by chance. We were not even sure if we wanna eat but the welcoming atmosphere and fantastic menu helped us into a quick decision to stay for a bite. We had the Fiesta Bowl and the Mexican Bowl with tofu and vegan chicken on top. Both were delivered quickly, looked appetizing and were in fact absolutely amazing! Lovely spices, too! We thought it was the best eating out -experience in a long time! Absolutely recommended!

    Best vegan brunch in Leicester! Been here a few times for brunch and have been impressed with the consistent quality of the food and service. Delicious food and proper portion sizes, definitely the place to go for non-vegans and vegans alike. The avocado heaven is superior, and the cashew butter pancakes are creamy and delightful! Just to name a couple of the dishes as a recommendation

    It's good to feel the appreciation for the effort to come to the deli and spend money there and to also introduce people there.

    Food is delicious and you definitely get full. I love their buddha bowls - have yet to have one elsewhere packed with that many flavours and ingredients Recently tried their tea and smoothies and they were the perfect balance of sweetness and natural flavour I would always recommend

    Went here today for the first time. The restaurant is really cute in terms of decoration. I enjoyed my meal a lot and the portions are quite big. I really wanted to try the pancakes, but I was too full to eat it. I do recommend this place :)

  • 5/5 Tom L. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    We had the chocolate pancakes and the fiesta bowl, both brilliant! Taste even better than they look. Really good food and a nice place to eat. Even for a non vegan like myself, you won't miss the meat, plenty of alternatives.

  • 5/5 Valerie M. 4 years ago on Google
    Yet another great meal - a lovely healthy crunchy chickpea salad. Yummy. A nice oat milk cappuccino too. It's so close to the bus station it is a great place to meet up with pals. Louisa and Patrick are fantastic friendly and welcoming hosts and very helpful. Full Marks!

  • 5/5 Mairead M. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely surprise to find this veggie/vegan breakfast place near the bus station in Leicester 👏👏✔️

  • 5/5 laughter'n g. 1 year ago on Google
    The best food in Leicester! Super fresh, crunchy, tasty and colorful. Cannot wait to go back there again. Absolutely love it ❤❤❤

  • 5/5 Mo T. 4 years ago on Google
    A lovely change from usual greasy take-aways and fast food restaurants. Healthy Louisa puts a healthy slant on global traditional dishes. ❤️

  • 5/5 kerry k. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible plant based eatery, fairly priced, delicious food and great for a treat without having a blow out on vegan junk! Free coffees with our meals too. Loved it!

  • 5/5 niki w. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely food and friendly staff. Really convenient if travelling by bus as it's opposite Haymarket Bus Station.

  • 5/5 Anna �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I highly recommend. A cozy cafe, where you can eat tasty and healthy food. Delicious coffee and cakes. Owners nice, cozy atmosphere and rocking chairs which you don't want to leave. (Original) Bardzo polecam.Przytulna kawiarenka, gdzie można smacznie i zdrowo zjeść.Kawa i ciasta wyśmienite. Właściciele mili, przytulna atmosfera i fotele bujane z których aż nie chce się wychodzić.

    Ordered "Spicy Tomato Beans" and "Porridge with strawberry and banana and blueberry" for take a way. The Spicy Tomato Beans was fine, nothing special in taste, but not bad either, the portion was not enough for a work lunch, probably I would need to order another bowl to get fully satisfied. Therefore, having at least x1.5 bigger portions would probably attract more people that need to grab something during the work. I would be willing to pay 1-2 pounds more to get additional option of extra large portion. Also a lack of brown rice defeats the purpose of being "healthy". I am not sure if beans are from the tin/cane, which if they are, then it again defeats the purpose of being "healthy", but it is understandable that it costs less and it takes less time to prepare. Since the "Spicy Tomato Beans" was not going to be enough I ordered "Porridge with strawberry and banana and blueberry" . It was a very nice porridge, tasty, enough portion. Worth getting. The interior of the deli doesn't attract eyes, it is a sterile white colour with cheap chairs and tables. For me personally, it repelled me, but I am more concerned about food, so I did get in. For a vegan cake, something sweet and a hot drink this is a good place, not so much to take a lunch during work hours.

    Great food, great owners and dog friendly! Fab Vegan place!

  • 5/5 Bruce B. 4 years ago on Google
    Travelling from Grimsby to Plymouth by coach on a Sunday is a daunting 12 and a half hour journey, including stops and bus changes. What an unexpected delight to find, only 3 minutes from the coach station in Leicester and open on Sunday morning, this vegan cafe and deli. The cafe is light bright and clean and I was given a very friendly welcome by Patrick the owner. I enjoyed a smooth creamy soya mocha (other milk alternatives available) and a tasty cherry crumble tart chosen from a good range of delicious looking cakes, all baked in house . This most pleasant morning break left me feeling well set up for the next 11 hours plus of my journey. The only disappointment was that this was only 10.30 am and I was not getting the chance to try out something from their interesting looking lunch menu.

    Just dropped by today to try out this place. Service and food fantastic... They really understand tasty vegan food. Try it if you're vegan, try it if you're not....

  • 5/5 Ama M. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious, vibrant, colourful food in a lovely venue. Friendly service and very welcoming to our two children. I had the most delicious Fiesta bowl with mango and avocado. So tasty and enjoyed by both of us. But the star of the show was the incredible cashew butter and berry toast. So so yummy.

  • 5/5 Piotr W. 4 years ago on Google
    Mains and desserts always tasty and fresh. Interior nice and tidy. Friendly staff who makes the best hot drinks in Leicester. I can fully recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Toseef A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food, both flavourful and healthy. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but there’s some days I don’t want to have a meat based meal and want something healthy. This is the place for it. A small family run business providing some quality food and great service. It’s a shame I don’t live in Leicester otherwise I’d come here regularly.

  • 5/5 Trev T. 9 months ago on Google
    Our first time here after keeping an eye on it for a while. I can't recommend it enough. Wonderful food at a great price.

  • 5/5 Sharon R. 9 months ago on Google
    Cute little cafe, amazing vegan options, food was so fresh, the pancakes and the compote were incredible. Highly recommend the spirulina smoothie!!

  • 3/5 Zulekha T. 1 year ago on Google
    For a solely vegan eater - these dishes are probably filling and satisfying, very generous portions. As I'm not a vegan, the ingredients in the bowls were not to my taste and I was only able to eat a quarter of it. However, their pancakes were tasty and I would like to give their smoothies a try.

  • 5/5 Candice W. 9 months ago on Google
    Popped in for breakfast with a friend on a Sunday morning. Such a sweet little place with a great menu. My pancakes were amazing, as was the porridge and avocado toast that my friend had. Really big portions, so great value for money. I don't live in Leicester but I'd definitely visit again when I'm next in the city. The gentleman who served us was friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Gemma F. 2 years ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Friendly service. Our food and drinks came to us quickly. Everything was really fresh and the portions are very generous. We took our children who enjoyed the pancakes but they could have shared 1 portion between them.

  • 5/5 Terry S. 4 years ago on Google

( Opposite Venom Nightclub, Between Kingstone Department Store and Everest Dine , just beyond Haymarket Bus Station ) Free infused water at tables and free water refills for takeaway too !

  • 5/5 Tez S. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent healthy café highly recommended, latte was lovely and the chickpea brownie was delicious, fantastically priced and the staff were super helpful, nothing was to much trouble. The range of cakes and food were great see attached menu. The establishment was clean well lit and very tidy with no rubbish lying around worth a visit for a light bite or to try something new.

  • 5/5 R D. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic first visit. I've been vegetarian for a while but am new to veganism. The guy behind the counter offered advice on which milk I should have in my latte, meaning I had the best coffee I've had in a while. Ordered the pasta with vegan chicken which is huge and really tasty. I ordered to takeaway and was on foot but the packaging has kept it hot all the way to my desk. I was spoilt for choice with the desserts so I went with the guys recommendation - fab! Didn't have to wait very long for the food, although he apologised for the wait it was much less than some places I've eaten in. I will definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Piotr L. 4 years ago on Google
    Something completely knew. Nice place for either quick coffee or sit down and have a healthy meal. Brilliant menu I love it. Relaxing atmosphere and good music. Perfect place to take to step in and take a break from everything,especially in one of the swinging chairs. I wish to have more places like this one in Leicester.

  • 5/5 Mary Anne Lesley G. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place to enjoy lovely foods and drinks. Service always fantastic. Love that you can order food and drink to then be put on the board for others to take (such as those with little money etc) fabulous

  • 5/5 Agnieszka J. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice, cosy place with testy, fresh food. The service is quick and friendly. They serve excellent flat white 😋. The only thing is that they are open only until 5 pm. We went there on Friday after five to eat something and it was closed. It was a bit disappointing because it was my daughter birthday and she wanted to eat her favourite wedges there. Otherwise, I would highly recommend the place.

    Best vegan cafe in Leicester the food is amazing!!

  • 5/5 Nakul R. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing Vegan Cafe! Came here with family for lunch.. Cakes were delicious, wedges air fried and coffee was on point! Will definitely be returning to try the breakfast!

  • 5/5 Veronica G. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to take away! Very friendly staff

  • 5/5 Ryan W. 3 years ago on Google
    Honestly the best food I’ve had in Leicester for a while. I had the Mexican bowl, and everything went together perfectly. The rice was cooked to perfection, the flavors blended nicely, the portion size was great. It was worth every penny, and you could really taste the love in every bite. I was skeptical about trying a vegan cafe, because I’m not a vegan, but when you’re eating the food from here, all of the worries go away! This is the type of place I’m definitely going to tell everyone about.

  • 5/5 Sam F. 3 years ago on Google
    Nourishing and fresh food. I’m so glad I found somewhere in Leicester that serves healthy food and catered to my peanut allergy (Unlike Grounded Kitchen). I’m not vegan but really really enjoyed their food and would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Vimal P. 3 years ago on Google
    I ordered the Macro Bowl and I must say it was delicious. They also took great care when I mentioned about my allergies. This will be a regular thing for me moving forward.

  • 5/5 Marti J. 4 years ago on Google
    I never write reviews but this place is so nice i had to! I ordered the cashew & banana toast which was amazing, very filling and goes great with a cup of coffee. For the price it was definitely worth getting. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and they make sure you're satisfied with your order. You can also spin the wheel by the counter and win a prize. I won free coffee which I'll definitely have next time I come there. Totally recommend! ❤️
